Took the FL out on its first proper run today and dissapointingly discovered a weird wheel wobble between 60 - 80mph that I thought was fixed when the stealer prepped it

It could be wheel balance or wheel alignment/tracking that is out. This is what will give a front wheel wobble at about 70.

Don't forget that changing wheels does not alter the Tracking. If the tracking is out, then changing wheels makes no difference at all. Chris |

Not all ATS centres have the 4 wheel tracking facility and even there, they initially tried to say that FL is ok with just front wheel tracking so if you are going for it insist that you need 4 wheel tracking. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

If you get wobble thru the steering wheel, and it is a balancing or tracking issue, then it is more likely to be associated with the front wheels.

Sounds almost certainly like balancing. I had similar recently, but after having tyres replaced and fresh weights put on front, problem gone ------- for now!

Thanks for this wintermute - I did see your post (sorry yours is not sorted yet) this did get me thinking which is why it did cross my mind to reject it... Anyway it goes in Tuesday and I will be giving them the benefit of the doubt to see if they can get it right - it sounds as though most wobble problems are cuased by wheel balancing although there are obviously isolated cases of something more horrifying.
